- Abstract summary: We study the emergency of singularities called Exceptional Points ($textitEP$s) in the eigenspectrum of pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian as the strength of Hermiticity-breaking terms turns on.
Our analysis is accompanied by a detailed study of $textitEP$s appearance in an exemplary $mathcalPmathcalT$-symmetric pseudo-Hermitian system.

- Abstract: Motivated by the recent growing interest in the field of
$\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric Hamiltonian systems we theoretically study
the emergency of singularities called Exceptional Points ($\textit{EP}$s) in
the eigenspectrum of pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian as the strength of
Hermiticity-breaking terms turns on. Using general symmetry arguments, we
characterize the separate energy levels by a topological $\mathbb{Z}_2$ index
which corresponds to the signs $\pm 1$ of the eigenvalues of pseudo-metric
operator $\hat \zeta$ in the absence of Hermiticity-breaking terms. After that,
we show explicitly that the formation of second-order $\textit{EP}$s is
governed by this $\mathbb{Z}_2$-index: only the pairs of levels with
$\textit{opposite}$ index can provide second-order $\textit{EP}$s. Our general
analysis is accompanied by a detailed study of $\textit{EP}$s appearance in an
exemplary $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric pseudo-Hermitian system with
parity operator in the role of $\hat \zeta$: a transverse-field Ising spin
chain with a staggered imaginary longitudinal field. Using analytically
computed parity indices of all the levels, we analyze the eigenspectrum of the
model in general, and the formation of third-order $\textit{EP}$s in particular

A quantum system governed by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian may exhibit zero temperature phase transitions driven by interactions.
We show that when the $mathcalPT$ symmetry is broken, and time-evolution becomes non-unitary, a scaling behavior similar to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition ensues.

The Curses of Symmetry and Initialization [46.55524654398093]
We show how over- parameterization changes the convergence behaviors of descent.
The goal is to recover an unknown low-rank ground-rank ground-truth matrix from near-isotropic linear measurements.
We propose a novel method that only modifies one step of GD and obtains a convergence rate independent of $alpha$.

Compressed Sensing [68.80803866919123]
Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously.
Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples.
We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

A basic problem of fitting an ellipsoid to random points has connections to low-rank matrix decompositions, independent component analysis, and principal component analysis.
We resolve this conjecture up to logarithmic factors by constructing a fitting ellipsoid for some $n = Omega(, d2/mathrmpolylog(d),)$.
Our proof demonstrates feasibility of the least squares construction of Saunderson et al. using a convenient decomposition of a certain non-standard random matrix.

It is assumed that a density matrix $rho$ can be determined from the expectation values of observables.
Abelian algebras do not have inner automorphisms, so the measurement apparatus can determine mean values of observables.
